Open Popup after adding client-side feature

DavinShokes1 — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 18:15:53 GMT

In my app:

The user searches for an address
A graphic is created for the search result
External API request data is added to graphic attributes
The graphic is added to a client side feature layer
The popup can be opened by clicking the new feature. However,
I'm trying to programmatically update/replace the existing popup with the popup for the new feature (Around line 283-316).

I can't figure out the correct code to show the popup. I've tried the advice from https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-layers-FeatureLayer.html#queryFeatures and https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-layers-FeatureLayer.html#querying but I don't think I'm making the correct function.

Any advice? Thank you.

Hi @DavinShokes1 -

You could try passing in the graphic that is added to the feature layer to the features property in the MapView's openPopup() method after the query/external API call completes. Here's a simple example showing how to use that property: https://codepen.io/laurenb14/pen/ZEPNpXG?editors=1000

You'll have to make sure the MapView popupEnabled property is set to false to manually open the popup as well.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, that got me on the right path and my misunderstanding of the popupTemplate.
